Church of Life

The Church of Life seeks to promote and nurture life, sentience, and understanding. It is an umbrella organisation for a variety of individual sects. This non-religious alternative is for those who have transcended the tenets of organised religion and faith-based teaching. The church was founded to represent the needs of post-Enlightenment man in a world still dominated by religious institution. The Church does not make demands of its adherents, rather it provides a community to counter-balance the weight of traditional dogma.

There May Be as many sects as there are individuals, as each sect caters for the spiritual needs and beliefs of its members. Each sect has its own source of spiritual strength. Spiritual enlightenment may have been reached through Any Number of means, including meditation, a process of reason (including atheism and deism), or organised religion.

The Church of Life exists inside of everyone. We are all a part of it and it is a part of us. It is the lion, as it is the gazelle. The Church of Life is love, as is the rest of existence, as anything but love is a peversion of life. The Church of Life is acquiring a voice, and becoming loud.

Lastly, The Church of LIFE can simply be a REAL Christian Bible Based Inter and Non Denominational Church in which the primordial belief is that he who has the Son (ie. Jesus Christ) has "The LIFE", that is eternal life with God, through Christ.

Virtuous Sects

Some sects are known to practice various forms of virtue ethics as a means of fostering their goals and are thought to trace their lineages through the chivalry of the Middle Ages to the time of Alexander the Great and the teachings of Plato and Aristotle. One such sect espouses meditation on quality, integrity, commitment, honour, and energy as a means of honing the mind and creating a fertile ground for virtuous acts.

The Not Zen sect

A sect in the Church of Life. Adherents typically practice zazen and explore koan, although they are not zen buddhists as they do not derive their lineage from one of the recognised zen masters. This sect is for those who have reached some level of enlightenment and are masters of their own spiritual ProgresS.

An example of Not Zen haiku.

A golden leaf falls,
A tear streaks down from my eye –
You must seize the day
